"Bro created a super soldier 😭"

Meanwhile, @guilherme.a.dev begged to differ:

"Good list, but i would go with Khabib pressure, Jones wrestling, Aldo takedown defense, Poatan/Anderson Striking , Gsp IQ, Colby/Strickland cardio, Mcgregor on Mic. Ps.: DJ is the most complete fighter ever, he is probably 9/10 in any area, but the guys I pick are 10 in the specifics."

Rafael Dos Anjos to face Geoff Neal at UFC 308 this weekend

In the prelims of UFC 308 in Abu Dhabi this Saturday, Rafael Dos Anjos will face Geoff Neal in a pivotal welterweight bout. Dos Anjos is currently ranked no.15 while Neal is at no.10.

Both men are coming off back-to-back losses. Dos Anjos lost to Vicente Luque via a unanimous decision in August then dropped another decision to Mateusz Gamrot in March of this year. As for Neal, he got submitted by world title challenger Shavkat Rakhmonov last year and then lost a close decision to Ian Garry at UFC 298 earleir this year.

With both men in desperation mode to get back on the winning column, expect an all-out war from start to finish. Despite making a name for himself for his world class BJJ blackbelt skills (11 career submissions), Dos Anjos has put away people with his fists in five different occassions.

As for Neal, 9 of his 15 wins came by way of knockout, giving the much-feared Rakhmannov some problems on the feet with his impeccable boxing skills.

UFC 308 happens inside the Etihad Arena in Abhu Dhabi, UAE, this Saturday, October 26.
